Lets have a look at their used sales shall we?...

2010 Audi A3 S Line for £8,879.89

2008 BMW 335D M Sport for £9,402.39

Hmm, on inspection thats just a headline price, the real value is deep in the blurb and pretty much what I would expect. I guess they are just a regular outfit with a sideline in bolt-on styling things.

Tyres seem very cheap though...

Why is the phone number different to that of the business?

Their accounts are overdue at Companies House and they were nearly struck off the register in January.

Company directors name is different from the name shown above.

If they are new and turn up then yes.
Until then you cannot tell.

OP, 2 Rules of thumb -

1. If it sounds too good to be true then chances are it is.

2. If you have to ask, then chances are you know the answer.

Steer well clear. Try JJC Race and Rally on eBay.
